President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday in
Abuja restated that the activities of terrorist
groups across the world had nothing to do
with Islam.
The president stated this when a delegation of
the Muslim community led by Vice President
Namadi Sambo paid him Sallah homage at his
official residence in the Presidential Villa.
Jonathan maintained that there was nothing
Islamic about the atrocities being perpetrated
by Boko Haram in Nigeria or Islamic State
(ISIS) militants in Iraq who claimed to be
fighting for the propagation of Islam.
“What is happening globally now has no
religious basis. Only yesterday, a British aid
worker was slaughtered by ISIS and that is not
Islamic.

“Boko Haram killing innocent children and
women in market places, in mosques and
schools definitely has nothing to do with
religion,” he said.
The president noted that this year’s Sallah
celebration was significant, citing certain
natural coincidences which, according to him,
showed that something good was happening to
Nigeria.
“This year is quite significant in terms of
celebration of Sallah, because the Day of Arafat
coincided with a Friday, and from what I was
told it takes a long time to have that
coincidence.
“And remembering the fact that 2014 is our
centenary year, it shows that something good
is happening to this country.
“We may have our challenges as other nations,
but when things begin to happen in a
particular way, I begin to see light at the end
of the tunnel.
“A number of things that have to do with our
belief system suppose to encourage us to see
our neighbours as ourselves,’’ he said.
While congratulating Muslims all over the
world, the president urged them to use the
period to seek God’s mercy for those hiding
behind religion to perpetrate evil.
He restated his belief in Nigeria, emphasising
that the country had a lot to offer not only to
its citizens but also to the entire world.
“Whatever obstacles we see are very ephemeral
and part of history of nation building.
“If you read the history of all nations, there is
no nation that does not pass through some
challenges.
“But, they got over them and moved ahead; I
think we are getting over our problems,’’ he
said.
Earlier, the vice president had prayed for
peace and unity in the country.
He also prayed that Allah would grant the
president the strength, wisdom and good
health to lead the country out of its current
challenges.
Among the vice president’s entourage were the
National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki;
the Acting Inspector General of Police, Mr
Suleiman Abba, and former Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) National Chairman, Bello Haliru.
Others included Primate, Church of Nigeria
(Anglican Communion), the Most Rev. Nicholas
Okoh; former Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Alhaji Ghali Na’Abba, the
Deputy Chief Imam of Federal Capital Territory,
Sheik Ahmed Onilewura.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
the Day of Arafat falls on the 2nd day of
pilgrimage activities in Saudi Arabia.
On this day, the pilgrims make their way from
Mecca to a nearby hillside, Arafat, to pray for
peace. (NAN)
